Traditional Chinese medicine often incorporates STR2005 ingredients from all parts of plants, the leaf, stem, flower, root, and also ingredients from animals and minerals. The use of parts of endangered species (such as seahorses, rhinoceros TDA4718A horns, binturong and tiger bones and claws) has created controversy and resulted in a black market of poachers who hunt restricted animals.Deep-seated cultural beliefs in the potency of tiger AN8352UBK parts are so prevalent across Asia that laws protecting even critically endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger fail to stop the display and sale of these items in open markets, according to a 2008 report mip411 from TRAFFIC. Popular "medicinal" tiger parts from poached animals include tiger penis, believed to improve virility, and tiger eyes.There have been many national and international actions taken against certain kinds of poaching and M51721SL hunting.
